Heart Full of Greens Wreath

Since I do not see the weather changing anytime soon around here I decided to repurpose some of the fresh greens I had cut for the holidays. Believe it or not, soaking these babies for 24 hours in cool water really does preserve them. I cut these for use on my tablescape prior to Christmas and they are still fresh and not shedding!

I already had this grapevine heart which I used for the base

Cutting each spray to about 5 inches long; I bundled them in groups of three

I used floral wire to attach them to the grapevine heart; simply laying the bunches down, looping the wire around and twisting to the back. I overlapped each spray to cover the previously laid wire so you can’t see it peeking through in the end.

Once completed I double twisted and trimmed the wire on the back

Simple and very easy to do ~ I may just have to make my fresh pine wreaths next year for the holidays. Enjoy!

That is adorable! I love love love it! Thanks for sharing! I didn’t know abut the whole soaking thing ither… I wish I would have a long time ago. I’m wondering if it works for shrubs? I’d like to make a wreath with boxwood… hummm.Michelle

Beautiful, light, airy!Sorry I am so late. As it ended up, we did have a (6 hour) 2AM-8Am stint in the ER with my son. Praise God, all is ok. But,it’s taken me some time to recover from being up all night. Alas, I am late in getting around to everyone this week. My apologies. Sincere thanks for linking up to Tales from Bloggeritville Thrifty Thursday!
